The Millennium Tower and Its Sinking Nature – $550 million

In 2005, San Francisco was getting ready to welcome its brand new residential tower. Ast 645 feet, it was intended to be the highest residential building in the city. After its completion in 2009, locals were amazed at what they learned: the tower was sinking.

In 2016, a full report had confirmed that the Millennium Tower had already sunk around 16 inches into the ground! Today, more than $100 million is being invested to fix one of the biggest infrastructure mistakes in history.
